I just made these for the first time and wanted to try them with GF flour. I mixed Bob’s all purpose with Bob’s 1-to-1. Ah-mazing! My husband is a ‘I don’t want to eat bread” kinda guy, and he loved these!

I am just now baking these muffins. However, I just eyeballed the amount of raisins. I never ever cook using weights when measuring out the ingredients. I don’t own a scale that would measure those small amounts. Could you please use cups, table spoons, teaspoons etc in your recipes? Also I have notice several of your recipes use salt but there is no amount of sodium in the list of nutrinol information. How is that possible since salt does contain sodium?

Can we just pretend St. Patrick’s Day is on at least 6 months of the calendar? I’m thinking October through March would be about right. These Irish Soda Bread Muffins are delicious for a not-too-sweet snack with hot tea or for breakfast on cool mornings. As I spooned the batter into my muffin tin, I thought it seemed too thick (more like biscuit dough) but they came out soft and perfect. Although the raisins added sweetness, I plan to try Craisins next time, or maybe the new lemon-flavored raisins. Thank you, Gina, for so many great recipes! Your meal plans brighten my in-box.

I had to host a committee meeting this morning, so decided to try these two hours before members were to arrive… after all … it’s St. Patrick’s Day tomorrow. Living at 6400 feet, I used King Arthur Flour’s high altitude adjustments. The biscuits came out great! Baking doesn’t really interest me (so I was intimated both by having to make altitude adjustments AND baking), but everyone seemed to really like them (more so than when I provide sweets from a local bakery). I used agave syrup in the recipe and provided butter and honey as spreaders. Thanks for the recipe!

Wow, if only I had looked here an hour ago. Began the afternoon baking skinnytaste bagels – mix half whole wheat with king arthur bread flour. Fabulous! Then moved on to the traditional irish soda bread. Put everything away after baking one loaf and decided there was still enough buttermilk and raisins to make another. Your recipe is not too different from the Ina Garten recipe I use. Well, I will remember this option for a breakfast muffin. Now I can’t forget to go look at that tuna chickpea salad you made and I made fun of as diet food. I’m up to the challenge.

I haven’t made these yet but they look delicious. I do have a couple of questions. If using a nonstick muffin tine, do I still need to spray with baking spray? Should I adjust the baking temperature to deduct 25 degrees due to using the nonstick, darker pan?

These just came out of the oven and are delicious! The hint of honey and sweetness from the raisins are juuuust right. My only mistake was trying to use cupcake wrappers to be festive, and there was definitely some sticking. This is a must try recipe for anyone who likes soda bread! Thank you for constantly giving us all something new to try. Your recipes/cookbooks are game changers for those of us trying to live healthier lives.

I made these last night, but they came out a bit dense. Could it be that I mixed the batter too long? Also, is it salted or unsalted butter? I love the flavor of caraway, so I added about a teaspoon of caraway seeds. Next time I'll add more. Thanks for the help and for all the great recipes!

Made it with pastry flour instead of the listed ones, and made buttermilk by mixing 2/3rds of a cup of Fage 0% yoghurt with 1/3rd cup skim milk and added some chopped pecans. Came out fine – really easy to make and quick to cook! They're quite dense and savoury / sweet rather than muffin. Perfect for breakfast on the go imo

WOW WOW WOW, GINA! Just made these! And of course ate one already! Absolutely delicicous, light and fluffy! Only thing I added was 2 teaspoons of caraway seeds since I love them in Irish Soda Bread. I spread some cranberry honey on the muffin and it was heavenly! Will defiintely be making thses AGAIN on St. Patrick's Day (because this batch won't last that long!!) Thanks, Gina!!

I make an Irish Soda Bread, famaily favorite for holidays….always wondered if I could put in bread maker ??? this is with wheat…so will try this one too…Thanks I live in South Florida…Publix makes a white and a wheat mountain bread, I got on line long ago and got a man's version of it for the bread machine, while it is good, it is not like Publix, any one have a recipe?

Muffins are a mainstay around our house. They are as nourishing as they are good to eat and can be a healthy snack. If you are conscious about yo u weight you can drink the Swami Mami Teas because it helps shed off some fats and betters your lifestyle.

These will be perfect to go with your corned beef soup for St. Pat's! I just love your website! I have been using your recipes for over a year now and I haven't tried one I haven't loved. You're part of the reason I have lost 85 pounds!! Thanks Gina!

I don't understand why you would omit the agave if you're not using raisins. One has nothing to do with the other, except both are sweet. I'd think you'd need the agave MORE if you didn't use caraway seeds.

Also, buttermilk and skim milk are totally different things. You can make clabbered milk by adding lemon juice or vinegar to skim milk, but it'll end up really dry if you just use plain skim milk.

Fresh out of the over. Made a couple changes- don't have buttermilk so I added lemon juice to regular milk (which is how I usually make my soda bread), egg beaters instead of the egg, and I used caraway seeds since I don't keep raisins in the house since they are toxic to dogs and I have a 4 year old who feeds things to the dogs.Not the same as my great grandmother's recipe, but still very good! And by having them in muffin form, it will definitely help with portion control!Oh and LOVING your site, just joined WW this past week. Hoping that hubby will like some of the recipes that have caught my eye.

Can't wait to try these. I'm curious can you use Bob's Red Mill Whole Wheat Pastry flour for any of your recipes that call for a blend of white & whole wheat flour? What about your red velvet cupcake recipe which calls for a mix of cake flour & whole wheat? Thanks Gina!!

I made this muffins today and am having one right now with a cup of tea!! These are wonderful Irish soda bread worthy without a doubt – worth every point! I just rejoined WW and after searching the net for points plus recipes came across your site. Looking forward to trying other recipes! Tomorrow I will be having the egg in the red pepper ring for breakfast!

These were great! The flavor was really good. Mine were a little chewy, but I think that was due more to my 3 y/o stirring (and stirring and stirring…) than to the recipe itself. Great addition to our St. Pat's Day meal and I love the portion control of the muffins!
